I AM NOT BEING PAID TO CORRECT OTHER PEOPLE'S POSTS! DONKEY!!

"Real people" comics used to be a thing, back in the day. There was a Gene Autry comic, a Bob Hope comic, a Jerry Lewis comic.

And, as I learned last year when looking through Wikipedia's "King Features Syndicate" infobox, there was a Woody Allen comic strip. In 1975, cartoonist Stuart Hample contacted Allen and got his permission to make him into a comic strip; Inside Woody Allen launched in 1976 and ended in 1984.

I started digging for examples of the strip and found a few dozen from people's collections of original art - but most of them are super small, or not particularly interesting because they don't really use the comic strip medium (just standard Woody Allen jokes with a Woody Allen cartoon next to them), or both. I also found several strips that were translated into Spanish, and French, and German, and Greek, and Dutch, and Italian; I could, hypothetically, transcribe them and then put them through Google Translate, but gently caress that, I'm not going to that much effort for this.

That said, I do have a bunch that are worth showing. Let's start with what I'm pretty sure is the original art from the strip that is, in retrospect, the most holy poo poo mind-boggling.

Yeah, that's one of those comics I've seen in the scans I get my 70s comics from but never posted because a)Woody Allen, b)the actual comics were pretty boring(although the posted one is way more "uhhhhhh :stare:" than the few ones I glanced at).

As I said, most of the ones I have aren't that interesting. Per the Guardian article, I think the strip changed its tone after a few years.

Here, a palate-cleanser: Woody Allen about to either a) be killed and eaten or b) have his finger ripped off just prior to falling to his death.

Again, original art. I rather like that in the second panel, you can see the woman panicking.

Seven-league boots are an element in European folklore. The boot allows the person wearing them to take strides of seven leagues per step, resulting in great speed. The boots are often presented by a magical character to the protagonist to aid in the completion of a significant task.

Dykes to Watch Out For (1987)

NSFWing this one because of very incidental nudity:


"On Our Backs" was the title of a lesbian magazine that started running in 1984 and which was somewhat notorious for being the first widely distributed mag to feature lesbian erotica written for a lesbian audience. The title is a winking reference to the anti-pornography newspaper "off our backs," which began in 1970.

I don't know if Mo's "Womyn's Herstory Project" shirt is a reference to something specific or not. "Herstory," broadly referring to attempts in the 70s and 80s to reclaim a feminist historiography, was coined in 1970, and while it (and the neologism "womyn" while we're at it) have fallen out of broad usage in feminism for a bunch of reasons, the "herstory movement" was a pretty vital force in the 70s especially, feeding into a significant push to republish and re-examine neglected women artists, writers, journalists, etc..

And of course the song Mo is singing throughout is Whitney Houston's unbeatable 1987 banger "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)." Documentation on old Dykes to Watch Out For strips has been disappointingly scattershot in my experience, so this at least lets us know that this strip came out sometime after May 2nd, 1987. It hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on June 27, although I don't know how much Mo (or Bechdel) would have cared about that.

Truly this is a comic written by a man who made his main jerk-off material protagonist pregnant and then once he couldn't take it back thought, "Oh poo poo! This means I have to draw her fat for a while!" and is now feverishly making up for lost time the instant the kids are out.

Yeah, this is about where we came to last time on the side of convenience versus inconvenience regarding whether I use tags or not. For the record I don't hold it against anyone for putting me on ignore if it's too annoying. It's not like I read every comic lately (mainly because they don't always load properly on my bad connection/computer) and the best ones tend to be quoted anyway.
